While we have been talking about grandiose highly technical designs I made couple of simple little models. The new model is a simple coach which resembles the little coaches LEGO produced in the '80's. The other thing I finally decides to do was put (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Since it seems I was paged... The power thingies are called... (wait for it) Trolley Poles! There is some circularity here which I can't resolve. I don't know if trolley poles are called that because they have a little wheel at the top (the (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
